e TilM ATHENS GEORGIAN: JULY 31, IS/'. Oriental Gambling. [I.onJon Globe. J The “gentle Hindoo’’ and ‘‘ mild Mohammedan” have, it seems, invent ed between them a perfectly novel sort of .gambling. In one quarter of the interesting City of Ajmer there is a house occupied by some soothsayers who are credited bv the public with the faculty of foreseeing changes of weather. They are represented to be remarkable accurate in their predic tions, owing to long practice in their profession. Outside the residence of these worthy seers a crowd ot natives assemble every day for the purpose of betting on the chance of a downpour. After the “ straight tip’* has been purchased from one of the prophets, the buyer commences bellowing, after the manner of “list men’’ on English race courses, that he will take or lay certain odds about the fall of rain within a given time. The ordinary quotations are sixteen to one against heavy rain coming down within twen ty-four hours, eight to one against a light shower happening, and longer odds in both eases as the time is reduc ed When the weather happens to be exceptionally variable, the whole street liecoins blocked by an excited throng of gamblers, and the prophets do a smart business in “ straight tips.” It appears that the seers themselves very often join in the amusement, and hack their respective opinions with the grea test pluck. As the hour approaches for the majority of thejbets to be deci ded, the more nervous gamblers are heard offering their chances of win ning at a heavy discount. This allows the weather prophets an oppontunity of “ hedging” at considerable advan tage, and it frequently happens that the book of an old seer will show a certainty of gain, whether rain falls or not.

Death of a Merchant from Hy drophobia.—Mr. Edward Towbridge, a member of the well-known house of Trowbridge & Co., of Bnrbndoes, and the United States Consul at that port during the administration of President Lincoln, died at Bridgetown Barba- does, ou the 12thjof May. He was about fifty-three years of age. Hisdeath is considered by bis friends aa the result of agenuine case of hydrophobia though the malady is extremely rare in the tropics. About nine weeks pre vious he was bitten hy a dog wliith lie was caressing, hut was assured hy a physician that the wound was not at all dangerous. After a few days, it is be lieved, dismissed the mater from his mind. On the afternoon before his death wassuddenly seized, it is reported, hy an attack of hydrophobia while attempting to drink a glass of water. Mr. Trow bridge was a native of New llaven, Conn., and was connected with the long established firm of Trowbridge and Sous in that city* He had been, a resident of Barbadoes fat twenty years or more. A professor in Ilait- ford has also died lately of hydrophobia several months after being bitten by a dog. Tlie different editions of Tim Sjx during the next year will be the same as during the year that has just passed. The daily edition will on week days be a sheet of four jaiges, and ou Sundays a sheet ot eight pages, or 56 hroad columns; while the weekly edition will lie a (duet of eight paves of the same dimensions and character that are already familiar to our frieud*. The Six will continue to be the strenuous advocate of reform and retrenchment, and ot the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and fraud in the administration of public affairs, it will contend for tht government of the people by t let-people and’for the people, as opposed to government hy frauds ia the ballot-box and in the countin'; of votes, enforced by military violence. It will endeavor to supply its readers —a body now not far from a milium of so is— with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy aocouuts of current events, and will employ’ for this purpose a numerous and carefully selected staff of rc[Hirters fund correspondents. Its lc- ]M>rts from Washington, especially, will be full, accurate, and fearless; (and it will doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred ot those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what the law does not give them, while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of the public by defending the rights of the people a gainst the encroachments of unjustified |>ower. The price of the daily Sen will be 55 cents a month or #6.5o a year, post paid, or with the Sunday edition $7.70 a year. TIic’Scxday edition alone, eight pages, $l.*.j a year, post paid. The Weekly Scv, eight pages of 56 b.o.ul columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the rate of $1 a year, post paid. The benefit of this large reduction from the previous rate for the Weekly can lieeujoyed by mdividnal subscribers without the necessity of makiug up clubs. At the same time, if any of our friends clux sc to aid in extending our circu lation, wc sIibII be gratefttl to them, and every such person who sends us ten or more sub scribers from one place will bo entitled to one copy of the paper for himself without charge. At one dollar a year, postagi paid, the expenses of paper nnd printing are barely yepaid; and, col .sidering the sire of the sheet and the quality of its contents, we are confident the Jicople will consider The Weekly Sen the cheapest news- I> : * one Address, deelt*.

A young man who had a claim of $50 to collect took it to a lawyer. The latter, upon inquiring, no sooner heard that his client’s name was tieorge Jones, thau he seized him by the hand, fervently shook it, exclaim- iog: ’• My dear fellow, how fortunate you are! \Yhy, # I know your father well; in fact he was my lirst client. I shall take particular pains . for you in this matter.” A fetv days later the young man received a note lrom the lawyer in forming him that the collection had been made. He called upon him, and was handed a ioil of bills. As he was counting them the lawyer reiter ated his remark about the young man’s good fortune iu coming to him who knew his father, etc. The young man, however, looked anything but happy, for he found 6ut $15 in The roll. The lawyer noticing this, said : “ Why my dear fellow, what seems to be troubling you ?” 3R. Q. 2D0*0"GLASS, Ablaxvba, Ga.
